- 🔒 Intro to Melodic Banjo
- 🔒 Intro to Single-String Banjo
At my Fall 2024 Texas Cabin Camp, Bill Evans gave the banjo campers a crash course in melodic and single-string playing! This session is a great introduction for any Scruggs-style oriented players who would love to dip their toes into the waters of melodic and single-string. Bill teaches the campers scales and licks to get them playing right away, and also briefly discusses the history of melodic and single-string banjo playing throughout the lesson.

Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
